Vmware ESX server CPU utilzation test alarm
Hi All,
For a new customer i need to show alarm and ticket logging functionlity of below vmware ESX server paramters
- VMW ESX Server CPU Utilization
- VMW ESX Server Memory Utilization
So that i have reduced the threshold value of VMW ESX Server CPU utilzation as beloow format
Warning - 5 % and STDev.warning - 0
I have done this configuration two days before but still no alarm generated for this rule.
Can any help how to create a test alarm of the abveo ESX Metrics

Hi - I've ended up having to do this sort of thing in past as well. I just built a VM, added heaps of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used VMware's CPUBusy.vbs script (Google search that) and ran it loads of times so that it started to max out real physical processors..For the memory, I just opened up a massive text file in Wordpad and started scrolling up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test out the alarms, just don't do it as a busy time, or use some dev ESX servers... cheers Danny
